Clothes Make the Monster

I take my Halloween costumes very seriously. It takes a lot of prep-time to make sure that everything is perfect. It's important that you never break character once in costume. If you do, the illusion is broken and Halloween loses all of its magic. For instance, this year I'm going as a private eye. So, … Continue reading Clothes Make the Monster →

In the Spirit

So far I haven't really been feeling Halloween so much. I've watched an obscene number of horror movies. I've consumed a large amount of pumpkin flavored beer. I've contemplated costumes. I've read articles online reviewing Halloween goodies. I've listened to Halloween music. Emily even got me a mess of rubbery stretchy spiders. And nothing. Partly, … Continue reading In the Spirit →

Human Centipede: Why?

I'm going to talk about horror movies (again), but this will be the last time for a day or two (promise {maybe}). This Friday, The Human Centipede 2 will be on limited release. So, if you're very, very lucky, it'll be playing somewhere in your city. For years, if a critic wanted to point out … Continue reading Human Centipede: Why? →

Hellraiser: A Review of Most of the Series

I've only watched six of the nine available Hellraiser movies and I've only seen them all once, so I don't consider myself any kind of expert. But after watching four of these movies in a three day period, I figure I've earned the right to vent a little bit. The first Hellraiser movie was a … Continue reading Hellraiser: A Review of Most of the Series →

Plans Macabre

So Halloween is rapidly approaching and how. I know you're probably not as excited as I am, since most people who get excited about Halloween are under ten and thinking about candy. As someone who indulges in horror year-round (writing it, reading it, watching it), it's always nice when October comes slouching 'round and everyone … Continue reading Plans Macabre →

It’s Coming

Certain folks have been looking at the weather lately and are claiming that these are portents of God's wrath. After all, hurricanes are a rare novelty on the East Coast and the only explanation can be that a deity who's heavily invested in Congressional hijinks is really angry. Nonetheless, they're all watching for the wrong … Continue reading It’s Coming →

Halloween

So October has gone by with barely a word from me. I was a little burned out on Halloween, before things even really got started really. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I was chattering away about Halloween back in August. So, lesson learned: next year, Halloween celebrating will start … Continue reading Halloween →

It’s Halloween Month!

It's finally, finally October and I'm all kinds of giddy. I'm still not really sure what I'm going to do for the month, aside from the vague plans that I've mentioned from time to time. I'll do my best to post something vaguely Halloweeny as the month goes on though. For me, it's a time … Continue reading It’s Halloween Month! →

I’m Your Boogeyman

I came to the shocking realization that I've taken a fairly passive role with Halloween this year. As I think I've mentioned before, in year's past I used to write one short story a day for the entire month of October. Since I've decided not to do that anymore, I've been writing about scary things, … Continue reading I’m Your Boogeyman →
